NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that America Walks calls upon jurisdictions to require:

That all legal crosswalks be marked on streets where average daily traffic equals or exceeds 8000 vehicles.

That highly visible crosswalk markings be installed at at all school crossings and all transit stops, including those not located adjacent to a traffic signal;

That crossing improvements such as pedestrian refuge islands, curb extensions, and flashing in-pavement lights be considered on streets where the speed or volume of traffic, the width of the crossing, or limitations on visability may make crossing without such improvements unsafe;

That crosswalks be well illuminated at night;

That crosswalk markings have a high color contrast to be visibly distinguishable from the road pavement;

That, crosswalks be designed in accordance with the recommendations of the Public Rights-of-Way Access Advisory Committee, so that their benefits may be extended to the greatest number of pedestrians[1].
